Description: Broché 36 x 27, couverture illustrée d'une gouache tricolore découpée de Matisse, recouvrant les deux plats. Superbe exemplaire, de toute fraîcheur, complet de son bulletin d'abonnement. Qui dit mieux ? 4 lithographies couleur de Léger, Miro, Rattner & Borès, tirées par Mourlot, en sus de nombreuses reproductions noir/blanc et couleur, certaines rehaussées d'or lorsqu'elles relèvent des enluminures antiques. Numéro inaugural flamboyant de cette célèbre revue, fondée par Tériade après qu'il ait quitté Skira et son Minotaure.Les textes sont imprimés sur un honnête papier vergé qui a bien vieilli; les reproductions, de l'héliogravure en noir à la couleur, en passant par les procédés typographiques via la lithographie, font appel aux meilleurs artisans de l'époque, Draeger et Mourlot, pour ne citer qu'eux.Les écrivains sollicités sont également choisis avec soin; Gide, Bataille, Huyghe, Heine, Caillois, Dos Passos, Garcia Lorca, Malraux, Michaux, Vollard, Matisse,.Sans à priori d'exclusivité au modernisme, l'iconographie et les sujets oscillent des temps anciens jusqu'à l'actualité d'alors, entre art, littérature et histoire.Une part non négligeable de l'iconographie est l'oeuvre de grands photographes de l'époque, ici Brassaï, Man Ray, Blumenfeld, ,.Un carton d'invitation à une expo de Maillol (Galerie Louis Carré, décembre 1941), s'est égaré dans les pages consacrées à un copieux reportage photographique sur cet artiste. > En cas de problème de commande, veuillez nous contacter par notre page d'accueil / If you have any problems with your order please contact us via our homepage <
